Day 5 - Mont Saint-Michel and Saint-Malo
Today takes us to the town of Saint-Malo on the English Channel,
along a route filled with fascinating cities and scenic locations.
Around mid-morning, we set off by motorcoach through Normandy's
coastal towns. We pause enroute in Caen, known as William the
Conqueror's city. Here, the 11th-century castle, Château de Caen,
sits as the town's centerpiece, besides two abbeys and an
impressive selection of medieval buildings.
You are free to spend time exploring and lunching in Caen before
we proceed to the glorious site of Mont Saint-Michel, a UNESCO
World Heritage tidal island half a mile off the French coast. The
island village is stacked like an architectural layer cake, with
the Gothic Benedictine abbey at the top. During our time here, you
can stroll through the historic Old Town, walk the ramparts, and
visit the abbey.
On arrival at our hotel in Saint-Malo this evening, we dine in
the on-site restaurant. Overnight Saint-Malo.
